No, *this* reverting is precisely what introduced the breakage.  We
need to switch back to the previous default, especially since db4.4 is
part of stable and that change modified its external interface in
quite a drastic way. *sigh*

(You can run "db4.4_recover -h /path/to/environment" to fix this, BTW.
If postgrey doesn't recreate the environment on its next run, you
should use "-e" as well.)
